Typography, FTP, and building my portal page have been my main focus, and each has come with its own set of surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typography has been one of my favorite parts. I always knew fonts mattered, but I never realized <strong>how much<\/strong> they shape the entire feel of a website. Picking the right font isn\u2019t just about aesthetics\u2014it\u2019s about making sure people can actually read what you\u2019re putting out there. I also got way too into typography games (yes, they exist, and yes, they\u2019re weirdly addictive). Who knew I\u2019d be out here kerning letters for fun? But honestly, playing those games helped me understand how small adjustments can make a design look polished or completely off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the more technical side, I\u2019ve been using Fetch as my FTP client to upload my work. It\u2019s pretty satisfying to drag and drop files and see my updates go live. At first, it felt a little intimidating\u2014like, one wrong move and everything could disappear\u2014but once I got the hang of it, it wasn\u2019t bad at all. The key lesson? Keep files organized. Because trust me, trying to find the right version of a file in a mess of randomly named folders is not fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then, there\u2019s my portal page:  <a href=\"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/86-sp25-mead\/ukaya\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/appliedartand.design\/86-sp25-mead\/ukaya\/\">Samet Kaya &#8211; Portal Page<\/a>. It\u2019s the hub for everything I\u2019m working on, and designing it was a fun challenge. I wanted to make sure it was simple, clear, and easy to navigate\u2014because if people have to think too hard about where to click, they probably won\u2019t click at all. I focused on keeping the layout clean and making sure the important stuff was easy to find. So far, I\u2019m happy with it, but let\u2019s be real\u2014I\u2019ll probably keep tweaking it forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Web design has definitely been a learning experience, but I love how it\u2019s a mix of creativity and problem-solving. One day I\u2019m picking fonts, the next I\u2019m troubleshooting an upload issue, and somehow, it all comes together. Now, onto the next challenge (or maybe just another round of typography games).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lately, I\u2019ve been getting more into web design, and honestly, it\u2019s been a mix of excitement, frustration, and way too much time spent tweaking tiny details.
